Today we traveled to Riga the capital. After seven centuries of foreign domination, the Republic of Latvia (Latvijas Republika) is independent since 1991 and has been transforming herself into an economically dynamic democracy. The vehicle for this transforming is the capital Riga, the largest city
in the Baltic States. Of Latvia’s 2.350.000 inhabitants approx. 750.000 live in Riga. The city is located on both banks of the river Daugava which separates the city into two parts, Vecriga (Old Riga) and Pardaugava. Four bridges, one only for railway traffic, connect the banks.
Brenten, Dennis, Frank and Mitch took the train today along the Daugava river. The city of Ogre is on this river which runs all the way to the Baltic. We traveled for forty five minutes to meet our translators near the Opra house in Riga. Our mission today was to share God's love one on one with some of the thousands of Latvians and tourists wandering though old town Riga. As we walked through cobblestone streets some were willing to take time to talk. Personaly I spoke through a translator to a homeless lady. She allowed Sergei and I to pray for her.
OTHERS SHARING DECEPTION
WALKING THRU THE STREETS
Homeward bound...more fruit.
ALL PRAISE TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!
